Notes

Please note, this dashboard is for Management Information Only.

This dashboard presents information on new home care requests in South Lanarkshire. It contains a map which locates home care requests, a filterable data table with key care information, as well as tables summarising over figures. Navigate to the maps and tables using the tabs at the top of the page.

The map is designed to be used alongside the “Weekly Provider Order” spreadsheet, which can help assess the practicalities of providing care and identifying clusters of care packages to minimise travel time. Please note that requests are mapped using postcodes, not exact address, therefore markers provide an estimation of location.

The map also provides individual-level data about each requests within a pop-up text box that appears when you click on a marker. Key points to note on this:

  • Type of Referral has been grouped into three categories: Hospital, Community and Homecare Intake Team.
  • The number of visits per day may vary, so the information presented here offers a guide of around how many visits are needed. It may not take into account care packages that have differing number of calls per week, nor the additional calls column.
  • The pop-up text box on the map will state if there is a specific carer’s gender requested. Nothing will display if no such request exists.
  • Some postcodes have been recoded into a format to match a longitude/latitude file. Therefore postcodes shown on the map will not match the excel file if there are coding issues. The majority of differences relate to adding a space or removing a double space.

Locality

Note that locality has been derived from postcode, rather than using the column from the spreadsheet. This is to account for missing data and coding issues.

Urgent Requests

Note that locality has been derived from postcode, rather than using the column from the spreadsheet. This is to account for missing data and coding issues.

Hours per week

Number of Carers

Number of Visits

Note that number of visits per day may vary, so this table offers a guide of around how many visits per day and will not always be accurate in cases where there are differing number of calls per week. It does not take into account the additional call(s) column.

Number of Days

In some cases, there were differing number of days per week depending on the time of visit (eg 3 AM and 7 tea visits). These cases have been grouped into the category “Variable”.
